Folkestone Triennial 2017

2 September – 5 November 2017

International artists have created 20 new works for the fourth edition of Folkestone Triennial, titled double edge. Presented by the Creative Foundation, Folkestone Triennial is one of the UK’s most ambitious public art exhibitions, and opens on 2 September 2017.

These artists have been invited to make new work in relation to specific sites in Folkestone. The resultant artworks create a dialogue with the town’s socio-economic and cultural history, and through this microcosm necessarily reflect on universal concerns. double edge highlights problematics that have recently attracted considerable academic study: borders; thresholds; margins; the periphery; gateways and the liminal. Some of the works will remain permanently on site as a part of the Folkestone Artworks collection.
